Kirk Hammett's RG470

Has anybody got any photos of Kirk Hammett's Ibanez RG470?

I seem to remember a photo of Kirk posing with it in an old Guitar World, and I think he may have used it on the Year And A Half In The Life Of Metallica video (damn it's about time they put that thing out on DVD).

Why should we...he only used it to beat it to cr@p everynight

I'm just curious, I'd like to see what kinda hardware it had, and whether it's the same as mine.
My 470 is JB and has chrome hardware, including original Edge, made in 93 in Japan. I saw a few identical ones in stores at the time (and in black), but they don't seem to match any other RG470s I've seen since then. I remember seeing Kirk's and thinking it looked a lot like mine (except black), but that was when I was 14 and couldn't tell an Edge from a Lo Pro from a Bigsby.

it was a black RG470 or 570 with black hardware and standard Edge.
